Save The First And Last Dance For Me Series

Have you ever seen the symbols for male and female. The male symbol looks like a tiny dart on top of a little circle. The female symbol is a little circle with a short line and a half-moon symbol on top of the line. Solomon is focusing on her reproductive area and includes the additional comment of this point by referring to it ‘Your waist is a heap of wheat set about with lilies.’

After commenting on her breasts then her neck, he is fixated on her eyes.- ‘your eyes like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim’ Heshbon was a city noted for its beautiful pools. We see here a description that her eyes told a lot about her to him. He saw luminosity, purity, and peace in her eyes.

He wasn’t saying that she had a big nose by saying, ‘Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.’ A term I do not hear too often from ladies when they need to go to the bathroom is ‘I need to go powder my nose.’ Why do I bring this up? Well Damascus has these famous limestone cliffs. When the sun hits them they give off a brilliant white glow. So, what Solomon is saying to her that her nose reflects her character in that she shines to him.’ She lights up his life.

Mt. Carmel near the city of Haifa has been called the ‘crown city’ in Israel. When Solomon says to her, ‘5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple; A king is held captive by your tresses’, he is saying that she is beautiful and that she definitely fills the role of being a queen. Apparently, she had placed some purple flowers in her hair and with these he comments on her royalty.

We see here also a beautiful picture of how our Precious Lord Yeshua looks and thinks about us. He sees us as the perfection of beauty and the delight of His eyes. He sees us as being ‘Justified’ – just as though we had never ever sinned against Him. He also sees us ‘Sanctified’ – set apart as his future bride, and He sees us ‘Glorified – with Him in heaven.

Like the individual descriptions of the Shulamite, our Lord takes note of every aspect of our lives. He Is familiar with every one of His children and every thing about them.

We read this in the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 12, “12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.”
